Exporting Global Jihad cover

Examining the global nature of jihad

This timely 2 volume edited collection looks at the extent and nature of global jihad, focusing on the often-exoticised hinterlands of jihad beyond the traditionally viewed Middle Eastern ‘centre’. As ISIS loses its footing in Syria and Iraq and al-Qaeda regroups, this comprehensive account will be a key work in the on-going battle to better understand the dynamics of jihad's global reality. The two volumes critically examine the various claims of connections between jihadist terrorism in the ‘periphery’, remote Islamist insurgencies of the ‘periphery’ and the global jihad. Each volume draws on experts in each of the geographies in question.

One topic, two volumes, three editors, four continents, 23 chapters and 28 authors. And a bibliography that sources thousands of others. No other collection could claim to come close to such comprehensive coverage on ‘Global Jihad’. These volumes are a requisite on the connections between center and periphery and glocal - the cosmopolitan global. * Dr Glen Segell, University of Haifa *
